RE: [ha-Safran]: Good challenge - Finnish Jewish composer

[Miller, Philip]

It would have been remarkable for a Jew to live in Finland in the 17-18th 
century as Finland at that time was a province of Sweden, and Jews were 
precluded from living there. Jews only established a presence there in the 
mid-19th century, and even then had to petition the Tsarist government for 
permission.

I'd love to be wrong, and if anyone knows better, please correct me!

Maybe the name you want  is Moses Pergament, but the time frame is 
off.  The Grove Dictionary gives his dates as (b Helsinki, 21 Sept 1893; d 
Gustavsberg, nr Stockholm, 5 March 1977).

Grove says:  ...some of his most important works treat Jewish themes and 
are partly influenced by Hebrew cantillation. Den judiska sången (1944) is 
a central work, and the orchestral Rapsodia ebraica, written in protest at 
the massacres under the Nazis and parodying Deutschland über alles, is 
another Jewish-inspired piece.
